Change the Mail Font Size on iPhone

The font size of mail messages can appear really small on the iPhone and iPod touch screens, but the default setting can be adjusted and increased substantially if the text size just looks too small.

Try a few different options out, and ultimately it will depend on the quality of your eyesight as to what you’re most comfortable with. I have fairly decent eyesight but wear corrective glasses, and find that increasing the size a little bit is enough for me. If the smaller sizes make you squint though, boost the text size considerably and the minimum displayed font size won’t ever be smaller than the setting you choose:

How to Change Mail Font Size in iOS 7 & iOS 8

With new versions of iOS, adjusting font size is a system-wide affair and that extends to Mail app and emails as well:

Open the Settings app and go to “General”

Now go to “Text Size”

Adjust the slider to the right (or left) according to the desired font size for mail and some other text in iOS

The font size you’ll want to go with is a matter of personal preference, keep in mind that adjustments made to the font size here will also change the text size of some other elements on iPhone too – for most users, that’s a good thing.

This is nice because it gives you a live preview of what the text size will end up looking like in mail app and elsewhere.

Increase or Decrease the Mail Text Size in iOS 6

iOS 6 made increasing text size more universal, and the setting for Mail will also boost other apps:

Open Settings and go to “General” followed by “Accessibility”

Tap “Large Text” and then choose the text size appropriate for your needs (OFF is default, 20pt-24pt are reasonable for most individuals, and 32pt and higher gets quite large)

The default setting is “Medium” and “Large” is a reasonable size if your vision is mildly impaired or you just forgot your glasses somewhere. Extra Large and Giant are accurate descriptions of their accompanying text sizes, you will want to take a look at just how big they are before using them as primary settings.

I have an iphone 5 and I can’t find “minimise font size” in setting, mail, contacts, calendars.
Do you know if it’s available and maybe placed somewhere else like “location Services” now under Privacy??
Thanks
